    "...The company has also turned to another firm, Maddox Defense, to make as many as 11 million gowns on its behalf... Maddox Defense (also) won a federal contract of its own worth as much as $88 million. It has set up production in Houston, where it is producing an average of 55,000 gowns per day..."

So... the only person in the article with an actual manufacturing facility and staff to run it, is producing around 1.5m surgical gowns a month...

... and supplying 11m gowns to one company to service their federal contract, while also delivering on their own federal contract for the same items...

... and providing all of these gowns by January.

1.5m/month * 3 months = 4.5m surgical gowns

Which is less than half the gowns they need to supply the first subcontractor. And doesn't deliver a single gown for their own federal contract.

Egads.
